I’m Thorsten Meyer — a Munich-based futurist, author, and post-labor economist. I help executives, policymakers, and everyday readers make sense of how AI, automation, and cultural shifts are changing the way we work, live, and build the future.
🧠 Honored to Receive the OpenAI 10 Billion Token Award
Today marks a meaningful milestone in my AI journey — I’m deeply honored to be recognized by OpenAI for surpassing 10 billion API tokens on their platform.
This recognition celebrates years of building and scaling AI-driven systems across the StrongMocha Media Network — more than 300 brands and platforms that integrate intelligent automation, content generation, and agentic workflows. Each token represents a step in transforming how digital publishing, education, and commerce operate in the post-labor economy.
OpenAI’s note accompanying the award resonated strongly:
“A piece to display with pride, bound to generate conversation.”
Indeed, it’s a conversation about what comes next — the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence, where data, design, and language converge to create new forms of value.
This milestone isn’t just about scale — it’s about stewardship. Harnessing AI responsibly, transparently, and strategically to empower creators, inform audiences, and accelerate innovation across industries.
Thank you, OpenAI, for the recognition — and to everyone pioneering alongside me as we architect the intelligent infrastructure of the future.

Through clear analysis and grounded storytelling, I explore how exponential technologies are reshaping work, wealth, and the human experience. I founded StrongMocha News Group in 2007, launched ThorstenMeyerAI.com to explore these big transitions, and host the YouTube series AI Unfiltered to make complex ideas accessible to a wider audience.

What I Write About
I write for curious minds who want to understand what’s coming — and how to navigate it.
• Post-Labor Economics – What happens when traditional jobs decline and machines do most of the work?
• AI & Automation – I offer reality checks on hype vs. impact, with a focus on large language models and intelligent systems.
• Culture & Communication – From workplace empathy to parenting in the smartphone age, I examine how tech affects our day-to-day human lives.
You’ll find my deeper essays in the Post-Labor Economics series, and my weekly videos on AI Unfiltered.

Why I Do This
My mission is simple: translate complex, tech-driven change into insight you can act on. Whether I’m exploring UBI, unpacking productivity data, or questioning what “work” means in the age of automation, I aim to give people the tools to think critically and respond wisely.
“The future isn’t something that happens to us — it’s something we write, one decision at a time.”
